Kingscote 32 Franklin Street

Steeped in history, this fully renovated cottage of circa 1903 offers amazing charm and character, often sought after yet seldom available in the Kangaroo Island real estate market.

The cottage has been diligently cared for by fastidious vendors, where attention to detail and immaculate presentation is large part of their daily way of life.

The historic value in the title's ownership notations makes for interesting reading and reflects past owners of the cottage highlighting historic and long standing Kangaroo Island families have stemmed from the then 'original and compact 2 bedroom stone walls'. A thread of internal family ownership has seen the cottage denied from presenting to the open market since 1956, an opportunity now afforded to the next astute purchaser.

Crafted from a combination of local limestone and timbers, these natural features have created a warm and inviting ambiance with the neutral colour selections crisp and clean to enhance the features of this charming residence. More recently and extension which is accessed via a covered breezeway has seen 2 more bedrooms and bathroom added to expand the overall floor space.

Benefits of the property also include slow combustion wood fire and reverse cycle split system air conditioning and undercover carport for the car.

Externally, the yard is beautifully presented with landscaped gardens, providing a peaceful and private place to unwind and let go of the worries of the world. There are two outdoor leisure areas to enjoy a BBQ with family and friends. Lockup shedding by way of two sheds, one 6m x 6m, the other 9m x 9m, are accessible through the carport. Boats, trailers and second vehicles can easily be locked away in the rear yard.

Ideal as a permanent home to live in or rental investment, be it permanent rental or holiday rental.

Kangaroo Island Council has the property zoned as 'District Town Centre' allowing for a mix of uses including business and retail activities, and is ideal for those looking to work from home in this Covid affected world.

A truly unique property blending the wonders of yesteryear with the sought after character of today! Now is the time to seize the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of the current vendors labour and simply enjoy the peace and tranquillity on offer.
